<p>
You can export a NodeXL workbook's options to a <span class="Definition">NodeXL options file</span>, and import a NodeXL options file into a NodeXL workbook.  This lets you share options with other NodeXL users, for example, or keep multiple options files on hand to select from when you want to alter the appearance of a graph.
</p>

<p>
NodeXL options files have a ".NodeXLOptions" extension.  You should not attempt to edit the file contents.
